Hi all, Hoping someone out there can help me.
I have seen similar posts to this one, but I am going to be a little more specific. My PC is WinXP SP1, ZoneAlarm Free 6.5.714.000, RealVNC 4.1.2 Free. I have WinVNC4 starting up as a service (automatic) and it appears to run in the System Tray with the PC's local ip (I an connected to a NetGear router with DHCP enabled, but I have fixed my ip address to be static). When I try to connect (either locally or remotely), I get "Connection Timed Out"/"Connection Refused" errors. Yet if I restart the service it works fine, both for local and remote connections. Would having TightVNC installed (but setting its service to a manual start) cause this problem? Would ZoneAlarm starting up AFTER WinVNC4 cause a drop in the connection, even though the firewall part for the WinVNC4 program is green-ticked all the way? Just a point to note: I have also installed freeSSHd as well, and I am having the same problem with it - I have to restart it to make it work. I have made my own little 'restart' batch script, but surely something is amiss here? Thanking you all - excellent product and support, Stephen _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
